Max Power Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 It's very difficult to take these jokers seriously, they have a real problem brewing for themselves and fight it with arrogance and acts of silliness. I didn't attend the public meeting regarding bin collections but I was told that the arrogance and rudeness of the councilors was terrible? Well, it will be interesting come the next council elections, if anyone actually stands against them? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Onchan Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 ..... the hole just gets bigger and deeper. Yet more politicians who don't understand that less is more. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it will be interesting come the next council elections, if anyone actually stands against them? There are multiple videos of it. I found both conducted themselves calmly and tried to explain things, as well as genuinely listened to concerns. Heck, the room even applauded Falk at one point. Gently, but still. The venue was filled with people against the measure, so you’ll never going to get reports back saying everyone loved it and was happy. The truth is that the scheme is working ok for most people. Teething problems, sure, but those who need assistance are receiving it and a few people left their details on the night so this can happen. It’s a big change but again: it’s already happening in many other places on the island and they don’t have a kerbside recycling scheme to help. So let’s not blow stuff out of proportion. As for Christmas: the teams will accommodate side rubbish over the festive period to help with the increase in volume, as they have done every year. Please be nice to them. If you want to have a go at someone, talk to one of us instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ringy Rose Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 I see Falk Horning (for it is he, sadly) has now admitted the corpy have been removing public litter bins because, er, people were using them to deposit litter. The whole thing baffles me. Maybe we should drop our waste off at the Town Hall reception? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having my family's shitty nappies in Falk's bin and not my bin seems a good compromise.

If it's properly bagged, what's the problem -oh it's you and the vocal minority. It's working in various parts of the UK so why shouldn't it work here? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manxieover65 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 I see even Devon is distancing himself from this step . Time for the Douglas folk to build a big bonfire and chuck all our excess rubbish on it . As for the above the moment he said to change peoples behaviours is the moment I stop making any effort in recycling , encouraging recycling is a great idea , forcing it will have adverse effect and no I won't stop buying the foods I like to make less rubbish . They are for the most part unelected , and took the chance to dictate green to people . For me it's War now , and I'll purposely do the opposite to their demands . As for the list of councillors who voted for the removal of waste bins , that will be the end of their short lived political careers at the next election . Even Devon has clearly realised that . Enjoy it whilst you can Frank and friends . Next waste bags going outside Falk's front door . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This doesn't work like you make it sound . But if it was that easy then I think the drama would be far less. What they say and what they do round assessment is totally different so let's not pretend on here it's easy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
